OK, its officially back on the road.

 

TO do list:

 

Front lip with CAI pipe hooked up.

rear bumper

tacho wire from coil.

Wire up the voltmeter.

 

I have 91 in the tank so I need to throw some 98 in then Ill let y'all know what I think.

 

EDIT: My strut brace doesnt fit over the TB either :(

So basically it's not as fast as you thought it would be?

Gratz Reed!!!

 

Oh old 91, I think thats the main reason for your average performance. If it's got a knock sensor it's probably pulling all of the timing out of it as it comes onto boost.

OK, my starter motor cable lug came off so it wouldnt start. I stalled at some lights with cops across the road watching and had to fix it in the middle of the intersection.

 

Then it started getting lumpy. Sounded awesome.

But then I got home and it sounded like this.

Sounds coming from the cams. Any ideas? When you rev it the noise goes away. Broken valve spring or something?

 

On the plus side it went hard :)

Check the pulleys stuff first because they're easy to see. Then i'd be pulling the valve covers off and have a poke around.

Maybe supercharger? these are clutch type right? But I know nothing about sc12's

Definitely sounds like a rotating noise.

Ok so I pretty sure exhaust and inlet cams are the same, just out 180 degrees, yeah?

 

But when I put the engine to TDC to measure the valve clearances the cam lobes arent at the lowest point.

When I turn them so I can read the gap like so...

The cam gears are nowhere near the timing marks.

Then I noticed this:

I'll be the first to admit I've got nothin'... Although the camshaft knock-pins being out of alignment can't be good unless the cam-spec's require it. Any part or ID number on the cams that you can see?
